Harley Davidson King Tour Pak / Premium Luggage Rack / Lock Kit for Tour Pak / Detachable Tour Pak Bracket / Pillow Passenger Backrest Pad for Tour Pak, and more; Installation and Review!

California Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Norman Gregory Fernandez on Harley Davidson Tour PakBetween July 13, 2007, and July 14, 2007, I finally got around to installing a Harley Davidson King Tour Pak with all the goodies, on my Electra Glide. The following is a review of the installation, some pictures, and my review.

First off, I wanted to add a King Tour Pak to my Electra Glide for added luggage space for long trips which I take quite often, and I wanted the Tour Pak to be detachable so that I can use my standard Harley Davidson detachable backrest and luggage rack for local rides. I also wanted to make the ride more comfortable for my old lady and me, and move her back a bit.

Since I already have the mounting kit for my detachable passenger backrest and luggage rack, I did not have to order the mounting kit for the detachable Tour Pak. I had heard that the plastic bushings do wear out on the docking points after a while so I will probable order some spares in the future as needed.

The Harley Davidson King Tour Pak is a custom order product from Harley Davidson because it is manufactured and painted at the factory depending upon your motorcycle and color. My Electra Glide is Vivid Black so that is what I ordered. When you order the King Tour Pak you are told that it can take between 6 to 8 weeks for delivery because it is a custom part. I got lucky and got mine within 3 weeks because Harley Davidson already had a vivid black Tour Pak in stock at the factory.

California Biker Lawyer Norman Gregory FernandezWhen you order the Harley Davidson King Tour Pak, you also need to order other parts with it so that it can be locked, installed, etc. All that comes with the Tour Pak is the actual Tour Pak in the box, some holes pre-drilled in the bottom, a hole for a key set, a rubber mat for the bottom, and a leather pouch. That is about it. Secondly, when I opened the box there were no reflectors, or anything on the outside, except the Harley Davidson inscription painted on the top. Of course it was vivid black!

Along with the Tour Pak I had to order, a lock, and a bunch of separate parts for the lock assembly so that the Tour Pak can be locked. This was not mandatory, but in my opinion it would be stupid to put on a Tour Pak without a lock, and that leaves a big hole on the side!

Luckily the place I ordered my parts from; Chicago Harley Davidson online, found that I was missing a 25 cent washer from my order and added it for me! Along with the drum lock comes two additional keys for the lock which are cut for your specific motorcycle. I needed my VIN number so that Harley Davidson could cut the keys for my motorcycle. Now I have 3 spare keys for my motorcycle. That is a good thing I guess!

Imagine, a Brand New Street Legal Motorcycle for under $1,368.99!

California Motorcycle Lawyer Norman Gregory Fernandez discusses Baja Motorsports inexpensive motorcycle *** 12/4/07 UPDATE SEE BELOW!

I was going through the ads of the Sunday Paper and I came across what seemed like an unbelievable deal for a brand new street legal motorcycle. The motorcycle is called the Phoenix 250cc Street Motorcycle by Baja Motorsports. The actual advertised price of the motorcycle was $1,368.99, and you can buy it at of all places Pep Boys. They also have a street legal scooter advertised for $729.99.

I could not believe what I was seeing so I decided to do some research on Baja Motorsports. Sure enough they have a website which you can get to by clicking here, and you can see the under $1,500.00 street legal motorcycle by clicking here now.

First off, I know nothing about Baja Motorsports products, or their motorcycles. Therefore, I will not endorse their product at this time. However, I will say this; I think that it is about time that truly affordable motorcycles are being made available to the public. I want to see more people get into motorcycling, and I believe that more motorcycles will help the environment by using less gas, etc. Above all, if more people rode motorcycles, there would be more bikers to help fight for bikers rights causes.

Another added benefit of such an inexpensive street legal motorcycle is pretty obvious. People who otherwise cannot afford expensive transportation can now do so!

Anyway, this is an informational article only. You can check out Baja Motorsports $1,368.99 brand new street legal motorcycle and judge for yourself.

Pep Boys Advertisement For Inexpensive Street Legal Motorcycles*** 12/4/07 UPDATE!

You can see to the left an advertisement from the Los Angeles Times 12/2/07 Sunday newspaper from Pep Boys, regarding the inexpensive street legal motorcycle that I discussed in this article. One of the persons who made a comment regarding this motorcycle stated that he went to a Pep Boys in another State, and that they informed him that they had no street legal motorcycles, and that they were also rude to him. Apparently this is not the case in Southern California. I am not sure what is going on with Pep Boys in states other than California, but the advertisement to the left speaks for itself.

Again, if anyone buys one of these motorcycles, I sure would like to hear if they are any good. I am sure other people who need cheap transportation or a starter motorcycle, would also like to hear a report about these motorcycles. If you provide a report to me about these inexpensive motorcycles I will publish it on the Blog!

Veterans Day 2008/ Remember the Vets!

Motorcycle Lawyer Norman Gregory Fernandez Veteran Day SaluteLast year I wrote a Veterans Day salute which you can read by Clicking Here Now.

I have recently read newspaper reports, and watched news programs that report 1 out of every 4 Veterans of the United States armed forces are homeless. If this is in fact true it is utterly appalling to me that 25% of those who have served are living on the streets without a place to call home.

I would consider this to be an emergency situation. Those who have served this nation deserve a hell of a lot better than being discharged into homelessness. I am hereby making a call to the citizens of the United States of America to right this injustice. If we can spend billions of dollars to re-build Iraq, we surely can spend billions of dollars on those brave men and women who have served this nation in the armed forces.

All citizens of the United States of America owe their very freedom to those proud and brave veterans who have served. Now it is time to repay the debt.

Let's get our veterans off of the street!
